Σύνοψη	Field-based visual analysis is a qualitative approach in which researchers collect and analyze visual materials — photographs, video, diagrams, environmental signs, and spatial arrangements — directly within the natural settings where they are produced and used. By anchoring visual analysis in fieldwork, this method captures images and visual phenomena in their social and spatial context, enabling interpretation that goes beyond what can be achieved from decontextualized images alone.	Field-based document analysis is a qualitative strategy in which the researcher enters a real-world setting — a school, clinic, organisation, or community — and systematically collects, authenticates, and analyses documents that are naturally produced and used there. Unlike library-based or archival document analysis, the field context is integral: the researcher observes how documents function in practice, who produces and reads them, and what organisational or cultural work they perform. The approach is widely used in ethnographic, case-study, and institutional research.
